Once we can get brain-device-interfaces implanted into us in order to sort of link our brains with a computer/phone, we probably won't get that information as pictures appearing in front of our eyes. (lemmy.world)

The information would probably be delivered raw into our minds. We'd just know what time it is, what the weather will be, who's calling us and what the news are saying, without having to process the information.

Honestly I don't think this is the way tech is going to go. Will it be possible? Almost surely. Will the average person get it? I seriously doubt it. I think it's going to be one of those technologies that people talk about, that the tech bros hype up, but when it comes to real world implementation, I think most people would skip it for something a little more detachable. Ar glasses/contacts maybe. But actually having a surgical procedure to implement something like this seems unlikely to me.
